(1580 – 1631)
(leader of the “virginia colony”)
(first enduring english colony in “the americas”)
(chartered in ‘1606’ / settled in ‘1607’)
.
.
(landed in ‘plymouth rock’ in ‘1620’)
.
.
*’british colonization’ of ‘the americas’ (including colonization by both the ‘english’ + the ‘scots’) began in ‘1607’ in ‘jamestown’ (/ ‘virginia’) and reached its peak when colonies had been established throughout ‘the americas’*
.
(the ‘english’ (and later the ‘british’) were among the most important colonizers of ‘the americas’, and their ‘american empire’ came to surpass the ‘spanish american colonies’ in [‘military’ / ‘economic’] might)
.
(3 types of ‘colonies’ were established in the ‘english overseas possessions’ in ‘america’ of the ‘1600s’ and continued into the ‘british empire’ at the height of its power in the ‘1600s’)
,
(these were…)
‘charter colonies’
‘proprietary colonies’
‘royal colonies’
.
(a group of ’13 british american colonies’ collectively broke from the ‘british empire’ in the ‘1770s’ through a ‘successful revolution’, establishing the modern ‘united states’)
(after the end of the ‘napoleonic wars’ (‘1803’ – ‘1815’), the remaining ‘british territories’ in ‘north america’ were slowly granted more ‘responsible government’)
(in ‘1838’, the ‘durham report’ recommended full responsible government for ‘canada’, but this was not fully implemented for another ‘decade’)
(eventually, with the ‘confederation of canada’, the ‘canadian colonies’ were granted significant ‘autonomy’ and became a ‘self-governing dominion’ in ‘1867’)
(other ‘colonies’ in ‘the americas’ followed at a much slower pace)
.
(breakdown of the 13 ‘american’ countries who received their independence from ‘great britain’ (or the later ‘united kingdom’)…)
*2 countries in ‘north america’*
(‘united states’)
(‘canada’)
.
*10 countries in ‘the caribbean’*
.
*1 country in ‘south america*’
.
(all of these countries (except ‘the united states’) are members of the ‘commonwealth of nations’ (and 9 are ‘commonwealth realms’))
.
(the 8 current ‘british overseas territories’ in ‘the americas’ have varying degrees of ‘self-government’)
